When does a home espresso machine pay for itself?
If you’re talking about the Breville BES870XL Barista Express, a lot sooner than later, thanks to a new deal at Amazon. Both the stainless steel and “black sesame” colorways are now $100 off the current list price (that said, we’ve seen the machine elsewhere for several hundred dollars more)
As I own this exact model, I can vouch for the simplicity and quality of beverage. Pick your ideal grind and temperature, use the steam wand for milk and have your cup o’ elevated joe in your hands in under a minute.
The Express also arrives with free shipping and returns (with Prime membership) and the machine is also available via five monthly payments if you prefer to spread the cost out.
As for the question we asked above? Let’s say you spend $5 per weekday on a fancy java. While you’ll still need to buy coffee beans and milk, we figure this Breville machine pays for itself in roughly six months.
